A new XL version of Elation Professional KL Panel is now available that extends the size of the original while emitting nearly twice the power and offering multi-zone control for dynamic effects.
Broadcast environments require bright and highly variable lighting of very high quality for key, fill and backlight. The new KL Panel XL LED soft light delivers with superior output, precise colour temperature control, full-spectrum colour rendering and an even wash coverage. Optimised for the tunable white light requirements of film and television, it is an ideal soft light source for many situations requiring outstanding performance and colour quality.
Using a 544W RGBW+ Lime + Cyan LED Array, the KL Panel XL produces soft white or full-colour washes up to 44,000 field lumens at a 100° half-peak angle. Colour reproduction is achieved with a CRI of 95 while colour temperature is adjustable from 2,000 to 10,000K for a wide choice of variable colour or white shade projections. Additional colour tuning is possible through a green-shift adjustment and virtual gel library to more precisely match the white balance for the camera. KL Panel XL’s LED array includes multi-zone control for colour access, eye-candy and reproduction of effects like fire, lightning, emergency vehicle flashes or a variety of strobe effects.
The fixture includes other design features like 16-bit dimming and selectable dimming curve modes for programming ease, as well as a high-speed electronic shutter and strobe. Measuring 763.8 mm by 306mm, a four by two-section control option provides additional creative capabilities for colour effects and visual impact. A diffuser is included for even softer projections as are adjustable and removable eight-leaf barn doors that allow for customised shaping of the beam and less light spill.
KL Panel XL is optimised for broadcast and film environments with 900-25,000Hz LED refresh rate adjustment for flicker free operation. Compact and portable, it can be mounted on a stand or suspended using any standard clamp or the included Junior pin adapter. A rugged housing with impact-resistant surrounds and base plate ensure that the fixture can handle rough handling on today’s fast-paced sets.
The KL Panel XL is self-contained without the need for an external power supply and offers power pass through for linking of multiple units. The fixture can be powered remotely through its integrated 4-pin XLR 24-36 VDC battery input. Professional control options include DMX/RDM, Art-NET and sACN.
It can also be controlled manually for stand-alone use using the included encoders and OLED display, providing instant control of intensity, colour temperature, green shift and other settings. The display and encoders are conveniently positioned on the bottom of the fixture to ensure easy access while the fixture is mounted on a stand. The integration of Elation Professional E-FLY wireless DMX system allows for even more flexibility of use.
The KL Panel XL is energy efficient for such a bright soft light, consuming 544W of max power, and offers other benefits of LED like greater reliability, a long LED life rating and less maintenance for a lower cost of ownership.
